What Squid does
Built for the ride, not the scroll.
Find a road, ride it with a voice in your ear, and keep an honest record of what happened. That's the whole loop.
Record every mile
Free ride or a route attempt. Phone locked, app in the background, no signal — Squid keeps the line.
Local-first · Never invents pointsHear every turn
Spoken turn-by-turn directions, called earlier when you're moving faster. The silent switch can't mute it.
Up to 3 calls per turnRelive the ride
Your real track on the map, with distance, moving time, stops, elevation, average and top speed.

Curated, not crowd-sourced
Roads with character.
We start small on purpose: a handful of Bay Area routes, each with its map, distance, difficulty and road notes — so you know what you're getting into before you go.
Highway 9
Saratoga to Boulder Creek
Redwood tunnels and a summit café stop.
Mount Hamilton Road
Grant Ranch to Lick Observatory
Hundreds of switchbacks up to a telescope.
Mines Road
Livermore to The Junction
Remote, rolling and gloriously empty.
Panoramic Highway
San Francisco to Stinson Beach
Fog, eucalyptus, then the Pacific on your left.
Honest data
We'd rather say unknown.
A missing row reads like “nothing to worry about” — and surprise gravel is worse than an empty field. So every route detail shows its source, and every gap shows up as a gap.
Riders help fill it in: finished rides confirm a road is passable, and one tap reports a problem.

Privacy by default
Ride together. Speed stays yours.
Squid is social without being a race. Follow your friends, see where they rode — and nothing that would tell anyone where you live or how fast you went.
No speed leaderboards. Ever.
Speed and time are yours alone. We rank consistency and distance — never who went fastest.
Your doorstep stays secret
Followers see your line with the first and last 200 m trimmed off, and never raw GPS points.
Your phone, first
Rides record to your device and sync later in retry-safe batches. No signal? No problem.
